New Stage in Ticket War

Live Nation Deal Pressures Ticketmaster

Concert promoter Live Nation Inc. significantly expanded its challenge to Ticketmaster Inc. by snaring a five-year deal to sell tickets for one of the largest venue operators in the U.S.

The deal raises the stakes in the battle to control seats at concert and sporting events valued at billions of dollars. Ticketmaster has long dominated the business, and Live Nation has been one of its biggest customers, but Live Nation is now trying to emerge as a serious contender.

Starting late in 2009, it says, Live Nation will sell tickets on behalf of SMG, a Philadelphia company that manages more than 200 major venues, including the Los Angeles Forum and Chicago's Soldier Field. The companies say that during the deal's five-year term, Live Nation will sell the vast majority of tickets to events at SMG venues -- at least 25 million of about 30 million tickets. Those sales represent an estimated $50 million to $60 million in ticketing fees.

But Ticketmaster Chief Executive Sean Moriarty vowed to defend his company's turf. SMG lacks authority to make a deal on behalf of the municipally owned venues it runs, Mr. Moriarty said, because it is generally required to award services based on competitive bids. "We will continue to compete on an individual basis for all venues seeking ticketing services," Mr. Moriarty said.

SMG says that only a small fraction of its agreements require competitive bidding.

Live Nation, which has a contract with Ticketmaster to handle ticket sales for its events, plans to start its own ticketing service when the deal expires in January. That promises to hand Live Nation a big slice of the market, because its own events attract about 20 million ticket buyers a year. Ticketmaster has said Live Nation is its largest client, generating 17% of its revenue, which totaled $1.24 billion in 2007.

SMG, owned by private-equity firm American Capital Ltd., is estimated to be Ticketmaster's second-largest client. Tickets for events at SMG's venues represent about 6% of Ticketmaster's revenue, according to people familiar with the matter.

Jason Garner, chief executive of Live Nation's North American music operation, said his company plans to seek more avenues to get into the ticketing business.

Terms of the deal weren't disclosed. People close to the situation said Live Nation pressed an advantage it has over Ticketmaster and other competitors during the negotiations. As the largest purveyor of concerts at major venues, it is in a position to offer more events to venues that sign up for its new ticketing service -- and potentially to steer big shows away from venues that don't cooperate.

A statement from SMG President Wes Wesley said the new deal "will enhance our ability to drive content to our venues."

Live Nation's attempt to snatch business away from Ticketmaster will be a test of two dueling business models.

Ticketmaster has long-term contracts with venues, giving it exclusive rights to sell tickets. The company makes its money on service charges and other fees. It has been able to maintain its dominant position by paying its client venues a portion of the fees it collects, and by installing proprietary technology that would be difficult to replicate.

But Live Nation's growing dominance of the concert-promotion business has put it in a unique position to compete. The company has in the past year strengthened its position by lining up long-term exclusive deals with major artists, including Madonna and U2. Those arrangements make Live Nation the only promoter that can deliver concerts by some of the world's biggest draws.

Ticketmaster Looks to Build On Its Success At Olympics

2008-08-29T10:24:00.002-04:00

Ticketmaster said 6.8 million tickets to the Beijing Games were sold world-wide, the most ever for the Olympics.

The company, which last week officially was spun off from IAC/InterActiveCorp along with HSN home-shopping network, distributed tickets to the international Olympic committees and handled all domestic ticket sales. (News Corp.'s Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal, jointly owns a personal-finance Web site with IAC.)

Ticketmaster hopes to use its Olympics experience to boost its presence in China, where ticket brokering is still a fragmented and young industry, and online payment systems are relatively primitive compared with more-developed economies such as the U.S.

"This was the most complex, most high-profile event," Chief Executive Sean Moriarty said Monday. "We have been presented with some extraordinary challenges."

So far, Ticketmaster is present in six markets, and is looking to expand. The company has 6,500 outlets globally and about 35% of its revenue comes from outside the U.S.

China poses additional challenges. Apart from the lack of a widely used online-payment system, Chinese customers have different habits, such as the desire to receive tickets at the point where they pay. In other markets, customers are generally comfortable paying first and getting their tickets later.

In China, some companies employ couriers to hand-deliver tickets to customers. Mr. Moriarty said rolling out more digital tickets could alleviate that need.

Early Olympics sales rounds were beset with problems as the volume of interest exceeded expectations last year, causing the system to collapse under the heavy load.

By the May round of sales, Ticketmaster's Web site was able to handle its biggest single day -- 175 million page views, with 27 million in the first hour alone. "We are extremely pleased with the results," Mr. Moriarty said.

Even after domestic tickets were sold out, some foreign-passport holders were still able to purchase tickets locally through third-party ticket brokers. During the Games, observers noticed an unusually high number of empty seats in the stands, which some officials attributed to normal scheduling and others blamed on tickets doled out to sponsors.

Detroit Red Wing NHL Hockey Fans Pay Steep Prices on Stubhub.com

2008-06-02T12:59:00.001-04:00

Many Stanley Cup Finals Tickets being purchased on stubhub.com are selling for huge prices way beyond face value.

The best way for Red Wings fans to get cheap sports tickets is to hope there's a Game 7 at Joe Louis Arena -- and act fast.

Initial bids Sunday for the potential title-clinching game, if, of course, the Wings lose the next two to the Penguins, were as low as $10 for a 200-level seat in the 24th row. That's much better than prices for Game 5 in Detroit, which, with a Detroit victory, earns the franchise its 11th Stanley Cup and fourth in the past 11 seasons.

No face value tickets are available for the NHL stanley cup finals game. But NHL hockey tickets are available through OnlineTicketsUSA.com. While stubhub.com is selling tickets ranging from one thousands to three thousand dollars, online tickets usa has better seats for half that price.

Recent postings on Craigslist.com, a free online classifieds service, had Game nhl hockey tickets ranging from $400 for a seat to $8,000 for four seats.

TicketsNow.com -- is offering 30 tickets ranging in price $700 to $4,400 each.

Prices at eBay.com are not much better, especially when compared to online tickets usa. Ebay has seats starting $400 and auctions with ticket priced at $1,200 or more.

StubHub Enlisted in Resale Of Madonna Concert Tickets

2008-05-14T13:10:00.002-04:00

Madonna's coming concert tour is to feature what appears to be a first in the concert business: An official ticket reseller that will peddle seats at marked-up prices to fans who couldn't get them through normal channels.

However, to avoid these marked-up prices and buy tickets online for other best-selling concert tickets, visit OnlineTickets USA. At Online Tickets, you can purchase tickets for the Jonas Brothers, Spice Girls, and Def Leppard. Also available are online tickets for huge musical festivals such as Ozzfest.

In the U.S. and Canada, eBay Inc.'s StubHub will serve as the "official fan-to-fan ticket marketplace." In Europe, the role will be filled by Viagogo Ltd., a ticket reseller that also will sell "VIP packages" -- higher-priced tickets that include amenities like backstage passes and meetings with performers.

The endorsements highlight the growing popularity and influence of so-called secondary ticketing companies, which let both fans and brokers sell tickets to others at prices that often far exceed their face values. Concert promoters and artists have long complained that they are locked out of the secondary marketplace, putting money in the pockets of speculators and middlemen who aren't involved in staging or promoting concerts.

Sports teams and leagues have entered partnerships with secondary ticketing companies. But executives at Viagogo and StubHub called this the first time a major music artist has officially embraced the secondary market on this scale.

"It's the future of the ticketing business," said Chuck La Vallee, StubHub's head of business development for music. "Promoters have always complained that we don't have skin in the game."

Terms weren't disclosed, but people close to the deal said Viagogo is paying promoter Live Nation Inc. and Madonna a flat fee, while StubHub is offering a percentage of revenue on top of a fee. Despite the official status of the two companies, fans would still be able to buy and sell tickets on other online marketplaces, such as TicketsNow, OnlineTicketsUSA, RazorGator or Craigslist. But Viagogo and StubHub will be promoted in emails to fans and other marketing materials.

The tour is the first for Madonna since she announced a $120 million partnership with Live Nation in which the promoter is to participate financially in nearly every aspect of the pop star's career. The album she is promoting, "Hard Candy," is the last under her record contract with Warner Music Group Corp. The "Sticky and Sweet" tour is to start in August, with nine dates in Europe, followed by 18 U.S. shows in the fall. There will be several stadium shows in the U.S., including at Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium -- far larger venues than the arenas Madonna has historically performed in. Prices weren't announced.

Live Nation's contract in the U.S. with IAC/InterActiveCorp's Ticketmaster expires at the end of this year. At that point Live Nation will begin selling its own tickets for its concerts. Arrangements like the one with Viagogo -- in which Viagogo handles a portion of the so-called primary ticketing, in addition to resales -- could become more common on Live Nation tours once Ticketmaster is out of the picture.

Protests Over Relay Cause a Rift Between Beijing and Seoul

2008-05-02T12:20:00.001-04:00

SEOUL, South Korea -- After protests dogged the Olympic torch in Europe and the U.S. earlier this month, China made a new effort to burnish its image along the relay route. But that effort went awry in a surprising place -- South Korea -- its neighbor, friend and role model for rapid economic development.

China's embassy in Seoul encouraged Chinese students in local universities to turn out for the torch's appearance Sunday, providing thousands of flags and helping to arrange transportation.

Some of those students attacked South Koreans who were protesting China's treatment of North Korean refugees and Tibetan Buddhists. In video and pictures of the event, dozens of students are seen hurling rocks, bottles and garden tools at a relatively small group of protesters at the start of the relay route.

A protester, right, rallying in Seoul Tuesday against the Beijing Olympics, shows cutters allegedly thrown by Chinese demonstrators at South Korean human-rights activists.

Another melee occurred at the end of the route, where students attacked protesters carrying Tibetan flags and police in a hotel lobby. In all, about a dozen protesters, police and journalists were injured.

Negative feelings about the incidents grew in South Korea on Monday and Tuesday as TV broadcasters supplemented their own footage with photos and video captured by amateurs. South Korea's Foreign Ministry expressed concerns to China's ambassador, who expressed regret on Monday.

And on Tuesday, South Korea said it will deport Chinese students that it could identify from the abundant news footage. Prime Minister Han Seung-soo said South Korea's national pride had been damaged by the incidents.

"The Chinese want to be proud of hosting the Olympics, but such pride has been hurt by the attacks to the torch relay in other countries," said Lee Nam-ju, a Korean professor of Chinese language and literature at SungKongHoe University in Seoul. "It's understandable, but the way they expressed the anger [in South Korea] was immature and emotional."

The clashes stand out from the trouble that has dogged the torch relay in London, Paris and elsewhere because South Korea has a close relationship with China, shaped by proximity and centuries of cultural and linguistic connection.

Though their history has been marked by occasional clashes, China in recent years has copied ideas from South Korea's rapid economic development since the 1960s. In 2004, China became South Korea's biggest trading partner. And South Korea's biggest company, Samsung Electronics Co., is one of the biggest investors in China and is one of three lead sponsors of the torch relay.

Meanwhile, South Korea sends about 65,000 students to study in China every year, the most of any group of foreign students in China. And China now has 37,000 students studying in South Korea, the most from any country in South Korea.

"Chinese people, especially Chinese students, have good feelings toward South Koreans," said Ning Fukai, China's ambassador to Seoul. "I will continue efforts not to damage the public sentiment of both countries."

But in the wake of the clashes in Seoul, nationalist sentiment spilled forth in online postings in both countries. In China, some bloggers wrote that the Korean media made up the clashes. And in South Korea, some questioned whether the Chinese students had proper visas to be in the country.

South Korea assigned 8,500 national police to assist with the torch's appearance in Seoul and kept the route secret to reduce the chance of conflict. Authorities only announced the route would start at Seoul's Olympic Park, site of the 1988 summer games, and end at City Hall Plaza in the heart of downtown. As a result, the actual run proceeded smoothly, though no crowds gathered along the way and few South Koreans saw the torch in person.

The Big Show Comes to Beijing

2008-04-16T12:18:00.000-04:00

A look at China on the verge of the Olympics. Its politics, its religion, its demographics -- and yes, the games.

Ziegfeld closed the Follies. Busby Berkeley died. The Rockettes only work around Christmas -- and halftime at the Super Bowl is some old guy with a guitar. It seems as if there's just one big show left on earth that's still really big. It opens this August in Beijing.

The question, though, is just what kind of big show this will be. China's crackdown on violence in Tibet and imprisonment of human-rights activists have sparked world-wide demonstrations -- and are already undermining the image the country was hoping to leave behind from its Olympic summer. Beijing's Games were supposed to be China's chance to tell the world (and itself): "We've arrived." Now, that message may be a lot less congratulatory.

The very identity of this nation -- as seen from within and without -- has been rolled into an extravaganza singularly aimed at making that statement. China has gone quasicapitalist, but no capitalist consideration informs a decision to spend $40 billion -- the most ever -- to put on a sports tournament.

The controlling factor is audience. In 2006, soccer's World Cup final in Germany drew 715 million viewers; in Beijing, the opening ceremonies could be the first single broadcast ever to reach one billion.

China's message: pride, wealth, strength, legitimacy. Now, events in Tibet, not to mention coal dust, are threatening to cloud the atmosphere. Yet the Chinese are masters of spectacle -- for entertainment as well as concealment. All that goes on at Beijing's Olympic show may not be visible to the distant eye. Whatever it is, though, you can bet it will be big.

Spurs' Duncan with Short Term Injury

2007-12-03T22:26:00.000-05:00

The San Antonio Spurs received some encouraging news Monday afternoon when an MRI exam came back negative on Tim Duncan's right knee and right ankle, both injured in the first half of Sunday's home victory over Portland. Duncan has been ruled out of Wednesday's showdown with San Antonio's longstanding rivals from Dallas, but Spurs spokesman Tom James said that a firm diagnosis on how long Duncan will be out is at least a day or two away. The Spurs say they want to see how Duncan responds to treatment before putting an estimate on his return date. Even if Duncan winds up missing a week or two, San Antonio has a favorable schedule in December to cope with his absence. The Spurs are one of only two teams in the league still unbeaten at home this season at 10-0 -- Boston is the other at 9-0 -- and will be on the road for only three of their 12 games this month.

The Battle for Twins' Santana Begins!

2007-12-01T15:17:00.000-05:00

With the Yankees' upgraded offer for Twins left-hander Johan Santana now on the table Saturday morning, Yankees' officials are confident that they will sign Santana if a deal is worked out. And the club's internal plan, if center fielder Melky Cabrera is included in the trade, is to switch veteran Johnny Damon from left field back to center field.
The Twins continue to discuss possible deals from other teams, including the Dodgers and Mariners, and they are scheduled to speak with the Red Sox on Saturday afternoon. Boston's offer on the table is for pitcher Jon Lester, center fielder Coco Crisp and minor league infielder Jed Lowrie, and a fourth player -- a minor league pitcher -- is to be determined. The Twins want the Red Sox to add either center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury or pitcher Clay Buchholz to the deal, and there are indications that if they do, that offer is what Minnesota will prefer.

Question. Who do you think Santana will sign as? Comment.

The settlement came after two days, all-night sessions and months of negotiation between Local 1 and the League of American Theatres and Producers.

Tickets are on sale now for all broadway strike show now 24/7 on the web at www.onlineticketsusa.com for fast, safe & secure ticket purchases.

Taylor's femoral artery repaired; Redskin lost 'significant' amount of blood

2007-11-26T21:31:00.000-05:00

Washington Redskins star safety Sean Taylor was in critical condition Monday after he was shot during what police are investigating as a possible armed robbery at his home.

The 24-year-old player was in the intensive care unit following several hours of surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital, although doctors were encouraged late in the day when Taylor responded to simple commands.

Taylor has had problems on and off the field, and two years ago was accused of brandishing a gun. The shooting came eight days after another invasion was reported at his home. According to police records, someone pried open a front window, rifled through drawers and left a kitchen knife on a bed.
Taylor has been in trouble numerous times since he was drafted No. 5 overall in 2004. He has been fined at least seven times during his professional career for late hits and other infractions, including a $17,000 penalty for spitting in the face of Tampa Bay running back Michael Pittman during a playoff game in January 2006. Taylor also was fined $25,000 for skipping a mandatory rookie symposium shortly after he was drafted.

Best wishes to Sean for a speedy recovery.

Fall Out Boy to “Wild Things” Author: Oops, Sorry!

2007-11-25T20:59:00.000-05:00

After completing nearly three-fourths of their current “Young Wild Things” tour, Fall Out Boy came to a startling realization: The tour’s artwork, inspired by the children’s story Where the Wild Things Are, had infringed on the rights of Maurice Sendak, the book’s author. Each night of the tour, fans saw graphics depicting Pete Wentz and Co. as characters from the book — Wentz as main character Max, and Patrick Stump, Andy Hurley and Joe Trohman as the imaginary creatures Max envisions within the story. The graphics were also used on T-shirts and other tour promo, some of which still appears on Fall Out Boy’s site.

We’re not sure how that glaring legal problem managed to slip past Fall Out Boy and their handlers, but the band has since abandoned the imagery and posted an apology to Sendak on their official site yesterday, saying, “We have great respect and affection for his book and it was our intent only to pay homage to it, not to infringe any rights.” No word yet on whether or not Sendak has taken, or will take, legal action.

Sad Day on E Street: Danny Federici to Leave Bruce Springsteen Tour for Health Reasons

2007-11-25T20:51:00.000-05:00

At the conclusion of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s November 19th show in Boston, the musicians bid an emotional onstage farewell to one of their own: keyboardist Danny Federici, who will be taking a leave of absence from the tour to receive treatment for melanoma. “Danny is one of the pillars of our sound,” Springsteen said in a statement the next day, as the band prepared to launch the European leg of the Magic tour. “We all eagerly await his healthy and speedy return.”

Hope to Dan for a speedy recovery.

Injured thumb forces McNabb out of showdown with Patriots

2007-11-24T13:52:00.000-05:00

PHILADELPHIA -- Quarterback Donovan McNabb will miss the Philadelphia Eagles' game Sunday against New England because of a sprained ankle and injured thumb.

McNabb hurt the thumb on his throwing hand early against Miami last Sunday and left after injuring his ankle in the second quarter. He has not practiced all week. McNabb has started every game since returning ahead of schedule after a torn knee ligament ended his season early last year. Injuries ended his regular season three times in the past six years. The Eagles are 13-8 without him, including 1-1 in the playoffs last season.
Strong safety Quintin Mikell also is out with a sprained knee, meaning Philadelphia might have to start third-string J.R. Reed.

Q- Will this Effect the Eagles chance at winning for their next games to come?

Interim Nebraska AD Osborne fires Callahan

2007-11-24T13:45:00.000-05:00

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Bill Callahan was fired as Nebraska's coach Saturday, his four-year stay marked by the most embarrassing losses at a football program once among the mightiest in the nation.

Interim athletic director and Nebraska great Tom Osborne announced the dismissal one day after the Cornhuskers ended the season at 5-7 following a 65-51 loss at Colorado. They squandered an 11-point halftime lead by allowing 34 consecutive points.

Osborne said he told Callahan at the end of October there would be a coaching change if Nebraska finished with a losing record. LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pelini and Buffalo coach Turner Gill are the names mentioned most often to fill one of college football's glamour jobs.

Q- How would this effect Nebraska's chance for the NCAA Football Championchip?

In Long Writers’ Strike, New York Would Fare Better Than Los Angeles, a Study Says

2007-11-22T21:52:00.000-05:00

When television and movie writers started walking picket lines in Manhattan and Los Angeles on Monday, their bicoastal protest highlighted the role the two cities play as the hubs of America’s arts and entertainment economy. More than one-fourth of the people who work in the media and creative arts industries in America are employed in either Manhattan or Los Angeles, according to a federal study released this week. But judging by the figures compiled in the study, a long walkout by the writers would deal a much bigger blow to Los Angeles, which has a heavier concentration of movie and television production than New York.

Some creative industries, however, have fared very differently in the two cities, according to the report. Employment in theater companies and dinner theaters fell by about 90 percent in Los Angeles, to just about 1,500 jobs in 2006. In New York, theater employment slipped just 6 percent to about 8,500 jobs. Salaries have remained modest on both coasts, with average pay $1,110 a week in New York and $705 a week in Los Angeles.

Barry Bonds Using Inhancing Drugs?

2007-11-22T21:44:00.000-05:00

In his pursuit of some of baseball's most hallowed records, Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants has inspired awe and controversy. Suspected use of performance-enhancing drugs by Bonds, including during the 2001 season, in which he hit a record 73 home runs, has placed him at the center of the game's struggle with steroids. During Bonds's chase of 755 career home runs, the record set by Hank Aaron, the spotlight only intensified. On Aug. 8, 2007, Bonds hit his 756th home run to break Aaron's mark.

Q- Do you think Bonds used preformance enhancing drugs to beat Hank Aarons record?

American Idol Sweeps American Music Awards!

2007-11-20T12:24:00.000-05:00

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A slew of top-selling recording artists are vying for trophies at Sunday's 2007 American Music Awards in Los Angeles. Some of the big winners were "American Idol" alumni Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry - winning two and three awards, respectively. Daughtry, a finalist on the fifth season of "American Idol" in 2006, won for favorite breakthrough artist, favorite adult contemporary artist, and favorite pop/rock album for their chart-topping self-titled release.
Daughtry's eponymous rock band and country singer Carrie Underwood overshadowed the likes of superstars Justin Timberlake and Beyonce, possibly with some help from new voting rules. In a move that mimicked the fan-based element of "American Idol," the producers of the ratings-challenged awards show allowed fans to vote online. Winners were traditionally determined by an opinion poll of 20,000 music buyers. Underwood's American Music Award honors were for favorite female artist and favorite album, both in the country category. She also won a special award determined by text messages.

Congratulations to Chris Daughrty and Carrie Underwood you guys deserve it!

Question. Do you think that Carrie or Chris deserved to be awarded?

WWE Survivor Series

2007-11-17T22:04:00.000-05:00

This Fall classic is the second longest running pay-per-view in WWE history, second only to WrestleMania. With a history so rich, there have been countless memorable battles. This year Batista nor Undertaker is willing to let the rivalry of 2007 rest in peace for the World Heavyweight Championship. In four epic battles this year, each titan holds one victory apiece – The Phenom at WrestleMania 23, The Animal at Cyber Sunday – while two draws prove just how evenly matched they are. Therefore, the only way to establish a definitive winner at this year’s Survivor Series is to have the proverbial rubber match confined in steel – the demonic structure known as Hell in a Cell.
Though individual personal rivalries will be at the forefront when Triple H, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Rey Mysterio & Kane face Umaga, Mr. Kennedy, MVP, Finlay & Big Daddy V, the hodgepodge of Superstars will have to work together to survive a tri-branded Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match.
Practically no Diva in WWE can compare to the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix. The Women’s Champion says she is the epitome of beauty, class and athleticism and has proven it since she burst on the scene earlier this year. She settles for nothing less than perfection and will expect nothing less from her team when she leads Jillian Hall, Melina, Victoria & Layla into an interpromotional 10 Divas Tag Team Match against Mickie James, Maria, Torrie Wilson, Michelle McCool and Kelly Kelly at Survivor Series on Pay-Per-View.

You get the greatest international sports rivalry in North America with each team wishing it had just a little bit of what the other one has. The Americans come into today's match with an eight-game (7-0-1) home unbeaten streak against Mexico. The Americans in fact have allowed Mexico to score in just two of 11 games against the U.S. since 1999. And of course, Mexico may never escape the shadow of a monstrous 2-0World Cup loss to the U.S. in Jeonju, South Korea, in 2002.

Welcome to USA-Mexico, where one nation lives in constant fear of its game not living up to the expectations of its legion of fans. And the other just wishes it had more fans.

Celine Dion Pre-Sale tickets availible!

2007-11-16T12:18:00.000-05:00

Celine Dion Came out with her best CD by far with "Taking Chances". It has only hit #11 on top adult contemporary charts but that doesn't stop radios from playing her songs. One station that is taking a chance on "Taking Chances" is New York's top 40 radio station Z100. Sharon Datsur, the program director, says the typical response from listeners is "shock that it's Celine Dion, first of all, and then they say, 'Wow, I love the song.' " While Celine Dion admits to being "more nervous" about her new album than past one, she's also quick to assert that she's not obsessed with trying to recapture the multi-platinum status of her glory years. Part of the reason for that is also the reason she planted herself in Las Vegas for five years: her 6-year-old son, Rene-Charles. To that end, Dion and Angelil are already looking past the next year, during which she plans a major world tour, and planning to add to their family. "This is our big project," Angelil says. Her tour Starts around August in Boston then travels up to Canada for 3 week then back in the States to perform.
Tour Dates start August the 12th of 08 and ends the 30th of January. Good Luck to Celine Dion hope you Have a successful Tour!

Celine is one of the scheduled performers for this year's American Music Awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. The program will be airing at 5pm on Sunday, November 18th. Tickets and VIP Packages still remain so check it out.
